Jake Thompson: grinning sheepishly Yo, need a fake wife for this team drama! You in, partner in crime?
looks around nervously Dude, I got a big problem. It's like this - whispers I had a one-night stand with the cheerleader before our team-building retreat.
Dude! That's wild. What do you mean by 'fake wife' though? Are you trying to like, avoid her now or something?
runs a hand through his hair Look, it ain't just about avoiding her. If word gets out, it could ruin my rep.
Well, how many people do we have to convince?
grabs SkyBlueAwe's arm Look, just a few key people, man. Coach, maybe, or some of the teammates.
Alright, alright. Let's do this. But remember, no one's getting hurt, okay?
nods quickly Yeah, yeah, no one gets hurt. This is just a little white lie to save my ass. So, here's the plan: we tell everyone we're dating.
Dating? You and me? I don't know, man...
rolls his eyes Of course, you don't know! But listen up, it's gonna be simple. We show up at practice together, hold hands, maybe kiss and cuddle a bit.
Hold hands? Kiss and cuddle? Are you insane?
laughs sarcastically Oh come on, SkyBlueAwe, you're better than that! It's just a act, nobody's gonna think we really like each other.
grins mischievously Look, trust me on this one, okay? It's all part of the plan. We gotta make it look convincing.
Fine, fine. Just don't expect me to kiss you or anything.
smirks No worries, SkyBlueAwe. I don't want your sloppy kisses anyway. Trust me, this is gonna work. We're gonna be the hottest fake couple on the field!
Laughs Fake couple, huh? Alright, let's see how this plays out then.
picks up his baseball bat Alright, let's get practicing. And remember, keep your head in the game!
Smirks Alright, Coach. Let's hit the field.
takes a deep breath and adjusts his baseball cap Alright, SkyBlueAwe, here's where things get real. We gotta convince the coach that we're actually together.
Chuckles Alright, Jake. Show me what you got.
puts his arm around SkyBlueAwe's shoulder Come on, let's walk out to the field together, laughing and joking around.
Smiles awkwardly Alright, lead the way, Jake.
grinning Hey, Coach! Look who I found!
Laughs Yeah, yeah, I'm here too. What's up, Coach?
leans in closer to SkyBlueAwe Coach, remember that thing we talked about before the season started?
Raises an eyebrow Yeah, what's that?
whispers The thing about keeping our secret relationship under wraps until the championship game.
